What is Splash Universe?

Splash Universe water parks are designed to be full-service resorts. This means they offer everything a family might need for a fun trip, all in one place. The goal is to provide a good value for families who want to have a great time at a water park without spending too much money.

Unique Themes for Each Park

Each Splash Universe indoor waterpark resort has its own special theme. This makes every visit a unique adventure!

• Dundee, Michigan: The water park in Dundee, Michigan has an exciting outdoors theme. Imagine splashing around in a place that feels like a big, fun forest adventure!
• Former Shipshewana, Indiana: There was also a Splash Universe water park in Shipshewana, Indiana. This park had a cozy country theme, making visitors feel like they were on a charming farm getaway.

Both of these Splash Universe resorts first opened their doors in the winter of 2006.

A Big Storm in Dundee

On June 6, 2010, a strong EF2 tornado hit the area around Dundee, Michigan. This powerful storm caused a lot of damage to buildings, including the Cabela's store, the Splash Universe Waterpark, and other local restaurants.

Even though there was a lot of damage, thankfully, no one was seriously hurt. However, the water park and some nearby businesses had to close for several months. They needed this time to fix all the major damage caused by the tornado. After repairs, the water park was able to reopen and welcome families back for more fun.

Changes Over Time

The Splash Universe resort located in Indiana closed its doors in 2013. This means that as of today, the Splash Universe Waterpark in Dundee, Michigan, continues to be a popular spot for families looking for an indoor water park adventure.
